Andrew laughed softly, thanking the man as he exited the bookstore. He knew th park was only a few block down. Smiling, he decided to just spend the day in the park on one of the many benches and read. What better way to spend a beautiful day? Spending time with Emma. He thought to himself, and quickly shook his head.
Walking down the street, he knew it best not to start reading until he got there. All he needed was a walk in collision with someone. Eyes gazing around and marveling in the beauty of the day, something caught his eye. Turning, he watched as a man walked across the street, a dark looming spirit following right behind him.
Goosebumps climbed up and over his skin and he shuddered, shaking his head and closing his eyes. It's not there. It's not there. He repeatedly told himself before moving on.
Entering the park, he grinned, nodding at a few couples that passed him by. Everyone was so lovey-dovey lately. Was there something in the water or air that he didn't know about?" Or.. just maybe he was immune to it.
Shaking the thought away, he took a bench in the middle of the park, near the pathway and made himself comfortable. Well, as comfortable as one person can be on a bench. Opening the book, he began the first chapter with an exuberant grin.
